Looking for hook before bp_signup_validate

    I’m tweaking the sign-up with some custom validation.

    I’m looking through bp_core_screen_signup() in bp-members-screens.php which runs through a battery of tests and then offers the hook bp_signup_validate to perform additional tests, but I need to do something BEFORE it runs through those tests not after.

    What can I hook into?

    (If you want to know why, I’m trying to make sign-up on mobile as frictionless as possible by not requiring the user to enter their password twice. On my custom registration form I make the input #signup_password_confirm hidden and with javascript just copy over what is entered in #signup_password. But to allow for javascript being disabled I need to repeat if necessary on the server before handing off to the tests in bp_core_screen_signup.)

    How about tricking BP into thinking the password has been entered twice? You can do that with a little JavaScript. You’d need to make the 2nd password field into a hidden input so that the value is still submitted with the form.

    Here is the general idea:

    <input type="password" name="signup_password" id="signup_password" class="input" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="signup_password_confirm" id="signup_password_confirm" value="" />

    JS:

    <script>
    $('#signup_password').keyup(function () {
        $('#signup_password_confirm').val(this.value);
    });
</script>

    Thanks @henrywright but you must not have read my question.

    I already did that, but need something server side in case javascript is unavailable on the client.

    Oops I do apologise! I read up to “What can I hook into?” and couldn’t think of a hook then got carried away thinking of how you could solve the problem 🙂

    EDIT: Perhaps you could request a new hook?

    I figured out I could intercept it earlier.

    bp_core_screen_signup is loaded in the action bp_screens with a default priority of 10, so I added


    add_action( 'bp_screens', 'bp_core_screen_signup_tweak', 9 );
    function bp_core_screen_signup_tweak() {
    if ( isset( $_POST['signup_password'] ) ) {
    $_POST['signup_password_confirm'] = $_POST['signup_password'];
    }
    }

    @terraling nice solution! Using that approach, I don’t think you will need any JavaScript at all now.
